TacoCleanse

Another entry in the “Not TacoStrong” series: Taco Town’s “turducken” version of a taco. It’s just a taco…wrapped in a flour tortilla with refried beans, THEN wrapped in a corn tortilla with monterey jack, THEN wrapped in a gordita with “guacamolito sauce”, THEN wrapped in a corn husk with pico, THEN wrapped in a crepe with a bunch of French and Italian crap, THEN wrapped in a deep-dish pizza, and FINALLY wrapped in a blueberry pancake. Oh, and battered and deep fried.

Tacos do NOT need unrelated, irrelevant foods wrapped around them to be #TacoStrong!

Contrary to what Mr. Samberg says, pizza is NOT what you call a taco.

(Yes, we know this is from a 2005 SNL Digital Short. To their credit, they said the chili served with the monstrosity—in it’s own carrying bag—is vegetarian.)

This just in from “Taco Cleanse Central”: “Counter Culture is going to have taco specials today for everyone on the cleanse! Bring your friends for Taco Tuesday! Rotating Tacos throughout the day including a Cafeteria Style Taco with a hard corn shell, ground seitan, lettuce, tomatoes and queso and an Asian Taco with teriyaki soy curls, kinpira and tomatillo salsa.” Get all the details and RSVP on Facebook at this link.

What is a Taco Cleanse? Only the most awesome thing in the world of vegan food. In the words of blogger Lazy Smurf, “I met up with a team of taco scientists prepared to nurture my fledgling taco habit and also give me the community of support that I needed to follow though on what became to be known as The Taco Cleanse™. Together we forged a new path of wellness and self discovery.”

Created by a few dedicated Austin vegans/taco lovers, Taco Cleanse 2013 will be running from September through October 4th, with lots of events along the way. Check our events section on the right for the latest details, and while you’re at it, see what other people are saying about the Taco Cleanse:
